Just tagging a few people who have been to places on the list: @Shirokuma (Bhutan) @fofo (Iran) @Hix (Kuwait, Solomon islands, Micronesia) By the way @Giant Eland I guess you are counting Buldeo's trip into North Korea for the list?
Here is a map of places we have been I just made, similar to the map I made of places Zoochatters live on a different thread. I had to do some surgery on the map, adding Jamaica (?), South Sudan and Kosovo and scrubbing out a country they'd added squished between Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania (anyone know what it was meant to be?). Anyway, here it is:
I believe somebody went to Papua New Guinea and Sri Lanka. That countries are not colored in the map.
According to Zooinstitutes.com @alexkant has been to zoos in a whopping 46 different countries, with the possibility of having zoo-less trips in other countries! Here is his list cut and pasted below (featuring the number of zoos he's visited in each country listed after) 1 USA 62 2 Russia 55 3 Germany 35 4 Israel 29 5 Czech Republic 21 6 China 20 7 Philippines 20 8 The Netherlands 18 9 Ukraine 17 10 Thailand 15 11 United Kingdom 12 12 France 11 13 Australia 11 14 Poland 11 15 Spain 10 16 Romania 9 17 Bulgaria 8 18 Colombia 7 19 Austria 7 20 Canada 6 21 Malta 6 22 Hungary 5 23 Lithuania 5 24 Italy 5 25 Armenia 4 26 Kazakhstan 4 27 Belarus 4 28 Belgium 4 29 Slovakia 4 30 South Korea 4 31 Georgia 3 32 Estonia 3 33 Greece 3 34 Denmark 2 35 Cyprus 2 36 Moldova 2 37 Finland 2 38 New Zealand 2 39 Switzerland 2 40 Uzbekistan 2 41 Kyrgyzstan 2 42 Ireland 1 43 Azerbaijan 1 44 Turkey 1 45 Cambodia 1 46 Latvia 1 My overall total is 40, with visits to zoos in 36/40. Got some catching up to do haha!
Oh, I didn't think of that. Now I come to think of it it is just as justified as having the great lakes there. Thanks
In general really loving this thread @amur leopard - what a great idea! I spoke with @Ungulate today and he's been to Gabon & Equatorial Guinea. Here's hoping as a community one day we check them all off! Or we just convince that every-country friend of @Tetrazo to join and we'll be all set haha Re-Updated missing country list: 42 remain, as little as 38 if each member below in parentheses chimed in. Afghanistan Bahrain Bangladesh Bhutan Burundi Chad Comoros Congo, Republic of the Djibouti Equatorial Guinea (@Ungulate) Eritrea Gabon (@Ungulate) Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guyana Iran (@fofo) Iraq Kiribati Kosovo Lebanon Lesotho Liberia Libya Marshall Islands Mauritania Mozambique Nauru Nicaragua Niger Pakistan (@J I N X) Saint Kitts and Nevis Sao Tome and Principe South Sudan Sudan Suriname Syria Tajikistan Timor-Leste Tonga Turkmenistan Tuvalu Yemen @amur leopard Not sure. North Korea was already missing from the last countries remaining list you had made- I didn't investigate prior to that.
Sorry I haven’t been to Bhutan! I mention here that my friend went and sent me pictures to post but I see now that isn’t clear from the gallery.
I've been to Palau on the same trip that I visited Micronesia. And on your map it looks like Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) has not been coloured in, but it doesn't appear in the list below. Hix
